The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

Qiqige was wondering if she had committed too many crimes in the first half of her life, so the second half of her life was more miserable.

The children were all sent to Xian'an Palace, so what happened to Qiqige?Nanny?

Of course, Qiqige didn't mean to look down on the nanny.She just felt that her life was not as good as that of a nanny. The nanny was paid by the family, but who paid her for Qiqige's work?

Not only is she doing free labor, she also has to give out red envelopes during festivals and festivals, and she will also distribute the splendid inheritance to her children and grandchildren in the future.

Qiqige looked up at the full moon in the sky at a 45-degree angle. She couldn't lower her head, otherwise tears would fall.But you can't look up for too long, because the tears will be held back, and the snot will stay.

Oops, this physiological phenomenon is so embarrassing...

Niu Hulu said flatteringly to Qiqige: "Queen Mother, please take good care of my concubines! The concubines are busy teaching the princesses to read, and they are too busy to take care of the fourth princess. You can help me." Concubine!"

Qiqige said heartily, you love me!One fifth elder brother is enough for me, if you send another one, will I survive?If I accept the fourth princess, will I accept the children of Yipin and her sister?In the future, if other concubines give birth to children and send them to me, will I accept them?If you don't accept it, it seems that I treat the children differently.If you accept it, well, I'm not a nanny, I'm the nursery director.

Qi Qige said to Niu Hulu: "I told the emperor a long time ago that I don't raise children. The fifth elder brother is taken care of by Concubine Ning, and I am just helping. I know you are very happy in the school. Busy, but the fourth princess grew up beside Qin'er Niang, and you suddenly send the fourth princess to Xian'an Palace, the fourth princess must think that you don't want her anymore, how can the child bear it?"

Niu Hulu still refused to give up, she was really busy now.In the school, the princesses worked hard, and Niu Hulu also taught her a sense of accomplishment. She spent much more time caring about other princesses than her daughter.

The fourth princess can run and jump now, and can understand what adults say.Niu Hulu wanted to teach his daughter well, but he couldn't find the time.She is worried about handing her daughter over to others, but she is most at ease when she is handed over to the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, the children you teach are promising. Princess Naren is warm and generous. She has just left the capital not long ago, but all the sisters in the palace miss her. Look at Fifth Elder Brother. He didn't like reading before, but now he is eager to learn. , this is not all due to your empress dowager!"

Niu Hulu put a high hat on Qiqige, "With your teaching, the fourth princess will definitely have a bright future. The concubine is cheeky and wants to ask the Queen Mother for a favor."

The empress dowager and the emperor bowed their heads and refused to intervene. They were not on guard against Qi Qige, and it was entirely up to Qi Qige to raise children voluntarily.She can raise her if she wants to, and let it go if she doesn't want to. This matter needs to be communicated between Qiqige and Niu Hulu.

There was an invariable smile on the corner of the Queen's mouth. Niu Hulu's family gave birth to a princess, and she could let whoever she wanted to raise her.She's just a princess, no matter how promising she is, she can't compare to the prince after all.

She secretly glanced at fifth elder brother, thinking that this child was a bit of an eyesore.During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor was not the first to praise the crown prince, which made the empress a little annoyed.

The queen took a deep breath, raised her noble head, and suppressed the depression in her heart.

She comforted herself in her heart, but she was just a concubine prince, even if he was raised by the empress dowager, he would not be able to get out of the sky!

Yipin and her younger sister also stopped talking about letting the Queen Mother raise their children. They are not noble concubines, have no prominent family background, and have never helped the Queen Mother teach in the school.Concubine Niu Hulu and the Queen Mother have a deep friendship, and they are incomparable.

Qiqige didn't have time to speculate on the psychological activities of everyone present, she was thinking about how to answer Niu Hulu.

After all, she is Qiqige's number one tool person. She works hard and conscientiously. It is really hard. It seems that it is not good to refuse so coldly.

Then... promise!

"If you are really too busy, you can send the fourth princess to me."

Niu Hulu was overjoyed, and quickly got up to thank him.

Qiqige stopped her and said: "Don't be too busy, we mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, we will settle accounts! We have to discuss some things in advance to avoid disputes in the future."

Qiqige said to Aruna who was standing by her side: "Aruna, bring the abacus!"

Aruna casually took out a small and exquisite gold abacus from the purse at her waist. It was a birthday present from Qiqige. Aruna felt that it was not too heavy, so she carried it with her every day.

Qiqige shook the abacus, and the beads of the abacus made a crisp sound.

Qiqige pushed up the upper layer of beads one by one, "The people present here today are all family members. I won't tell you heretics, but tell you the truth. Concubine Ning is my own younger sister. She is good at playing cards." , when the card addiction starts, I can’t take care of anything. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to take care of the children, so I often help her take care of the fifth elder brother.”

Everyone laughed and said: "The queen mother is considerate of the girl, and her painstaking efforts are touching."

Qiqige waved her hand, "It's not worth the effort, I'm afraid she won't be able to take good care of Brother Fifth, if something happens, we won't be able to explain it to the emperor."

Everyone nodded secretly, this is the truth, of course it is risky to watch children.

Qiqige said to Niu Hulu: "Because it concerns my own sister, I raised the fifth elder brother. I didn't care that Concubine Ning asked for money. What I'm talking about...you understand?"

Everyone present laughed to themselves, and the queen mother said that Concubine Ning's addiction to cards is very big, and her addiction to money is also quite big, and now it started again.

Of course Niu Hulu understood what the queen mother meant, didn't she just want money?This is easy to say, as long as the queen mother can educate the fourth princess well, money is not a problem!

Niu Hulu said: "Speaking of which, the concubine has not honored the Queen Mother since entering the palace! This time I have to work for the Queen Mother again, and the concubine is embarrassed to be empty-handed. Queen Mother, the concubine has known you for so many years, you If you want anything, just say it! We girls don’t need to be courteous!”

Qiqige smiled, "Yes! We don't need to be courteous."

She moved her fingers and flicked on the abacus quickly. The speed of her hands was so fast that there was almost an afterimage.

She muttered as she settled the accounts, "The nurses of princes and princesses are not only responsible for feeding the children, but also responsible for education and disease prevention. They work hard and have ten taels of silver a month. When the princess comes to my palace, I am not as tired as the nurses, so I don't deserve to take Ten taels of silver, but I am the empress dowager and have a high status, so I can get 20 taels of silver a month, right?"

Niu Hulu was taken aback for a moment, it sounded like... nothing wrong.

Qiqige said again: "A month is 20 taels, and a year is 240 taels. Because the children are not divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, and there are no holidays, so I ask for three times the wages during the New Year's Day."

Niu Hulu's family: "..." Just for a short while, it rose again.

"If you let me look after the child, you can't let me pay back the money. So, you should take the fourth princess's share. This is for her, not for me to eat more and take more."

Everyone thought to themselves, the princess is so young, how many things can be used, and the last remaining portion will fall into your pocket, the queen mother.

Niu Hulu did some calculations silently. Her annual allowance was 600 taels. If the queen mother's 240 taels and three times her wages were taken away, what would she have left?She is a noble concubine and spends more than others.Low-ranking concubines have to give rewards, and she has to give gifts when the elders celebrate their birthdays with the emperor and queen.Throughout the year, 600 taels of silver may not be enough.

She can reach out to her natal family, but she lives deep in the palace, and the palace rules do not allow the concubine to communicate with her natal family in private.Niu Hulu has a cautious character, she is afraid of being caught by others, she would rather pick and search for money than ask her natal family for it.

Niu Hulu finished the calculation in his heart and sighed disappointedly.It is great for the queen mother to help raise the child, but unfortunately it is too expensive and she is not worthy.

Niu Hulu looked up and complained with a smile: "Queen Mother, are you even willing to give your concubines a little bit of a bargain? It's too expensive."

Qiqige shook her head and said, "Hey! Don't you know me yet? When I encounter an opportunity to make a fortune, how can I miss it!"

Qiqige thought to herself, if I can earn hundreds of taels of silver a year, then I can do the job for the child!

Qiqige said to Niu Hulu: "You have worked hard in the school, I will give you a cheaper price. 200 taels of silver a year, is this okay?"

She said to all the concubines present: "Who else wants to send their children to me? Today is the holiday, and I will give you a cheaper price. After the Mid-Autumn Festival reward discount period, it will never be so cheap again. In the future, I will definitely It’s the original price, I won’t offer any more discounts!”

The imperial concubine has so much money that she can't afford Qiqige's expenses, let alone other concubines.All the concubines either bowed their heads to drink, or pretended to pick up vegetables, and no one took Qiqige's words.

When there was no business coming, Qiqige started to roll the roll, "Yibi, didn't you just want to send the child?"

Concubine Yi hurriedly waved her hands and smiled, "Concubine...concubine doesn't have that much money."

Qiqige thought to herself, you are not up to date!No way I have to teach you.

"You child, you have no money, but the emperor has money! The child is not yours alone. You ask the emperor for some, and you bear some yourself. It's over!"

The emperor didn't expect that he could lie on the gun without saying a word, "Emperor Niang, you really love me! All the children in the palace are your grandsons! Why don't you be more generous?"

"Let's put..." Qiqige swallowed the swear words, "It's just that what the emperor said makes no sense. He said that brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly. What is the relationship between people? It depends on the sense of propriety! No matter how good the relationship is, some words cannot You can't talk nonsense. For example, you can't say something like asking me to be generous."

Qiqige thought: It's funny, why be generous?Everyone think back, there are more than 100 chapters, when did I, Qi Qige, send money to Horqin's biological father?Even my own father is like this, not to mention you puppies with messy tails.All of them can't get on the stage, but they still think beautifully, and they still want my Qiqige's money!

Qiqige looked at the concubines present and felt that their mud could not support the wall.

Fight for your anger!Make money quickly like a demon concubine!I can look after my children now, you guys give me the opportunity to get a job!
